Description: | A post-medieval (probably 1600-1800) lead alloy musket ball, measuring 13.5mm in diameter and weighing 13.08g. The ball has a rough, pitted surface, grey in colour. The worn casting sprue is recognisable as a bump on the surface. The weight suggests it would have been used in a pistol (Harding (2012) Lead Shot of the English Civil War: a Radical Study).
